phenology

BENELUX

distribution within Europe

From Scandinavia and Finland to the Pyrenees, Italy and Romania, and from Britain to Poland (Liston & Blank, 2006a; Fauna Europaea, 2008).

notes

Hering (1957a) calls the species “very common, also in gardens and parks”, and Liston & Blank (2006a) even describe it as a minor horticultural pest in Scotland. Therefore a species to be on the lookout for, especially in Belgium, where H. nobilis is still just native.
